You can’t just assume Henderson didn’t return to the UK for tax reasons. Also, totally unfair on ASM given he’s not British to be begin with. 

It was talked about in the media regards Henderson.

 

Not sure what you are talking about or point is regarding ASM.

You made reference to ASM in your post. The rule your referring to relates to UK tax law.

Yes but how was I being unfair? Quite the opposite.

How do these transfers to Saudi work? Is it normal just to play one season then move on somewhere else?

Was wondering the same. Why loan them out? I mean Fenerbache wont pay his salary [emoji38]

Probably not for most, but ASM was only signed in fairness to help us make other signings :D Taking up a slot at a top club, so move him on and get better named players in. 
 

Need Almiron / Wilson willing to do same.

Was he any use?


He was unplayable in some games. Very few players in world football have that in their locker.

 

He’s underachieved throughout his career though.. and include coming here to Mike Ashley’s NUFC w/ Steve Bruce at the helm.

 

There’s a reason why the big clubs never wanted to sign him which is same reason why we upgraded that position first chance we got. It’s more down to consistency than work ethic or “being a team player”.

I was surprised to see Maxi's goals per game isn't that far off some of our other notable French wingers/attackers :


Hatem 72 apps 12 goals

Ginola : 58 apps 6 goals

Robert 129 apps 22 goals

Maxi : 111 apps 12 goals

 

Can't see the assists though. Statistics need context, and the context here is that often Maxi was the sole ball carrier and goal threat at times, he got so much more of the ball due to the lack of quality around him whereas the other players in this list had less share of the ball. Any of the other players in this list above would have probably scored many more goals if they were the only threat or ball carrier in their team - Hatem/Ba/Cisse, Ginola/Beardsley/Ferdinand/Lee, Robert/Shearer/Solano/Lee, Maxi/Perez/Rondon/Wilson

 

Puts Gordon in a good light :

 

Gordon : 51 apps 12 goals in a team with Bruno/Isak/Trippier as the main ball carriers/threats.

 

I hadn't realised how prolific Gordon was when compared to Hatem and Robert. He's actually beating Robert for goals per game, and has fantastic work-rate off the ball.

 

Maxi has good qualities but just isn't an elite player, and as you say @Dr Jinx, if he was he wouldn't be playing for Fenerbache.
